For quite some time, Anthousa, Setessan Hero was a Commander who just didn’t seem to have enough tools at her disposal to be good. But with Battle for Zendikar and Oath of the Gatewatch came some cards that really help her strategy out. Anthousa is a Heroic creature, meaning that you have to target her with spells to activate her ability. Making some easy creatures out of your lands seems good enough. There were cards to support this theme before, but there were not quite enough.

Now, you have Embodiment of Insight that gives your land creatures vigilance. The Enchantment also has a Landfall ability to make 3/3 lands until end of turn. Sylvan Advocate gives all your land creatures and himself +2/+2 once you have six or more lands. There are a couple other spells such as Earthen Armsand Swell of Growth that continue the Heroic theme while giving you more added benefits.

This deck can do a lot of damage in a hurry and there are plenty of ways to protect Anthousa and her growing Land creature army. Here’s a sample deck list you can start from.
